Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Vegetable and Fruit Farming There also is a great and an increasing demand at home for the minor products of the land, some of which may, now be classi fied as necessities others in a degree as luxuries, because of their high prices. Fine qualities of cheese, good butter, milk, cream, eggs, chickens and poultry of all kinds, would have an extra ordinary sale if only the prices were reasonable. And there is no doubt that all these things could be produced for sale at reason able rates, and at the same time would yield a good profit if farmers would direct their minds and their energies to 1'the work. Foreign competition will not. Interfere with these industries! This game, at all events, is in the hands of the home producers. The chief drawback to the full development of this trade is the unsatisfactory present mode of distribution of nearly all kinds of farm produce, and especially of these minor kinds. In existing circumstances, the producers' get the minimum value and the consumers have to pay the maximum price. The pernicious system of salesmen and middlemen, and the routine of markets, hinder enterprise and check production. In'no cases is this so much felt as in those of vegetables and fruit, which are confined to a few centres - markets, for the' most part, utterly inadequate for anything like general distribution. Even with the system now holding, it is fully believed that the productionl of vegetables, salad plants, and fruit could be very largely extended, to the gain of the cultivators and to the infinite satisfaction of would-be consumers who live in towns, and of those who have no gardens, who constitute a vast proportion of the population. This paper, therefore, has been written at the request of the Council of the Royal Agricultural Society, to point out the importance and advantage of adding these special cultures to the ordinary farm crops, and to give some practical information as to the most desirable sorts of vegetables and fruits for this purpose, together with details as to the modes of cultivating them, and the circumstances of soil, climate, and situation that are required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Orchard, Lawn and Garden Guide: A Ready Reference Guide for the Growing of Vegetables, Shade and Fruit Trees, Flowers and Shrubs, Lawn Making, Pruning and Spraying, Etc The first edition of this book under the name of The A. B. C. Garden Book, published in the spring of 1920, was a small booklet on vegetable gardening. The book was hardly out of press before I realized the demand for a larger and more complete book, covering a wider field. This is my second effort to bring before the public a book that will be useful to city and small town gardeners, and while I have exercised every care in choosing reliable information, I can scarcely hope to have escaped errors. With many years experience in gardening, planting, prun ing and spraying, as well as propagating, soiling and lawn making, I have here tried to give the reader the benefit of this experience. Should you find any errors or important omissions, I would appreciate your calling my attention to them, as it will be helpful to me in compiling other editions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fruit Grower's Guide, Vol. 1 It may be expected that few thoughtful persons will be inclined to dispute those propositions; especially, perhaps, the last of them. Fruit, in its best condition, is the purest of food, health-giving, life-sustaining and delicious. It was the first food of the human family, and it has been the last food of countless thousands in the decline of life, accepted and enjoyed when coarser was rejected, and so it will be to the end of time. Yet the full value of fruit is by no means generally appreciated. It is regarded by many, if not the majority, as a luxury 2 and a luxury it undoubtedly is to vast numbers of the dwellers in populous cities, while there are several districts in which the inhabitants either do not have nearly so much as they wish, and as would be good for them, or they have to consume what is inferior. A full, good, and cheap supply of the different sorts of fruit that can be produced in this country would be of enormous benefit to the community. How, where, and by whom fruits of various kinds, and of the best quality, can be produced it is the object of this work to point out, and every cultural detail advanced will be founded on experience gained in orchards, gardens, and fruit-growing establishments, with and without the aid of glass structures, in various parts of the kingdom. Until recent years the importance of systematic fruit culture in the gardens and fields of Great Britain had not been adequately recognised. The pursuit is one of the most enjoy able that can be indulged in by all persons who have, or can acquire, land suitable for the purpose. Home-grown fruit is a necessity of life, and the resources of the United Kingdom are equal to the production of the leading kinds in the greatest excellence; indeed it is questionable if so many fruits can be grown equally well in any other part of the globe as in Great Britain and Ireland. Several of the most popular of those fruits, which are being more and more regarded as food products, are indigenous to our land; hence the soil and climate are suitable for their development, or can be made so.
